A small town''s
prodigal daughter returns to face her past in bestseller Phillips''s
latest cheeky, diverting fairy tale. Sugar Beth Carey, "the wild
child of Parrish, Mississippi," was once the queen of all she
surveyed, but after 15 years and three marriages, she''s a broken
and broke husk of her former self. Who''s loving the
schadenfreude? The Seawillows, for starters-the gaggle of Southern
belles Sugar dumped years ago, plus Winnie Davis, the half-sister
she trea
內容簡介:
In high school Sugar Carey had reigned supreme. She alone
had decided what or who was cool. Her spiral perm had been the perm
against which all others were measured, and her opinion on which
boys were acceptable to date the only one that counted. A
beautiful, blonde - if not always benevolent - dictator, she had a
reputation for being the wild child in her home town, the girl most
likely to set the world on fire, and leave a trail of destruction
in her wake. When she left home she swore she''d never return. Only
now, fifteen years and several husbands later, she''s run out of
money, luck and options. But Sugar arrives back home to discover
that everyone else is living her life. Her half sister is married
to Sugar''s high school sweetheart, the teacher she schemed to get
fired is now a successful novelist and owns her old house. She also
discovers that people have long memories - especially where Sugar
is concerned
